At the premiere of The Box in New York Wednesday night, as you may have noticed if you follow AMC News on Twitter, we had some laughs. The movie is a thriller from Donnie Darko director Richard Kelly, and it centers around this question: Would you let a stranger die in exchange for a million dollars? That moral dilemma is at the center of this film, and it was a question many on the red carpet were talking about.

The Box is an adaptation of the 1970 short story "Button, Button" by author Richard Matheson (I Am Legend) that first appeared in Playboy magazine. Did stars Cameron Diaz, James Marsden or the other cast members ever think they'd appear in a movie that had its roots in a nudie magazine? Watch my Opening Night Report to find out.

This week -- as you may already know if you follow AMC News on Twitter -- I was in New York to sit down with the stars of Amelia, Hilary Swank, Richard Gere and Ewan McGregor, and to attend the premiere. The movie, directed by Mira Nair, shows you another side of world famous aviator Amelia Earhart, not just the story of her going down in the Pacific while she was trying to complete the first around-the-world flight by a woman. As the movie shows us, Earhart was a celebrity with a keen intellect and a complex love life. Watch my Opening Night report for all that, plus, stay tuned for the very end of the video to see what happens when the FDNY, New York's Bravest, interrupt my interview with McGregor.

In adapting Maurice Sendak's children's book Where the Wild Things Are to the big screen, director Spike Jonze tried to capture the feeling -- for adults and kids both -- of being nine years old. Furry creatures that had never before spoken a word were given dialogue, and brought to life by Jim Henson's Creature Shop and the actors Catherine O'Hara, Lauren Ambrose and Forest Whitaker. I sat down with them -- as well as Catherine Keener and star Max Records -- in Los Angeles to talk about how Jonze approached the movie and more.

At the premiere this week in New York, the film's executive producer Tom Hanks and I talked about the popularity of the movie and the trouble I had getting a Max Halloween costume. According to Keener, even President Obama has read the book, and she tells us in the video how she knows. Take a look.

At the premiere this week of Couples Retreat, Vince Vaughn told me the film -- which is the first he's taken a writing credit on -- came in part from his own experiences, where he found "the funny is an overcommitment to the absurd" in relationships and marriage counseling. Jon Favreau, who wrote the first draft of the movie before starting work on Iron Man 2, said Vaughn wasn't afraid to suggest something different while shooting, something Kristen Bell seemed to enjoy.

As you might know if you followed my AMC NEWS live Emmy tweeting, we were reporting Sunday night not just from the Nokia Theater, but also later in the evening exclusively from the AMC Emmy Awards after-party at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. AMC picked up five Emmy Awards, including two repeats: Best Actor for Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston, and Best Drama for Mad Men.

I spoke with Mad Men's Christina Hendricks, Rich Sommer, Michael Gladis, Aaron Staton and Robert Morse about what it was like to be up on stage accepting the Academy's top honors, and how it feels for Mad Men to win the best writing and hairstyling statues.

What I really wanted to know, however, was what show creator Matthew Weiner meant when he said during the post-Emmy news conference that Mad Men is about to "explode" this season.

"It gets pretty interesting. It's pretty nuts," explained Sommer, who plays Harry Crane on the show. "The rest of this season is stuff that I never, ever thought would happen."

Watch the video below for all of the details:

Perhaps you've heard that The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, the latest cinematic brainteaser from director Terry Gilliam, is the final work of the late actor Heath Ledger. Gilliam brought in heavies Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell to replace Ledger, adding a meta layer to an already trippy filmgoing experience. So what is Parnassus about? Honestly, based on the trailer, we're not exactly sure. A thousand years ago, Dr. Parnassus (Christopher Plummer) made a deal with the devil (Tom Waits!) which leads to all kinds of heavy, overwrought makeup, crazy special effects and a Mini-Me cameo. Ledger (and Depp and Farrell) plays a mysterious stranger in a traveling theater company (we think) who must save a young girl from the clutches of Parnassus and the Devil. At the very least, the trailer lets Gilliam show off his visual prowess in a movie reminiscent of his underrated comedy, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. And, if nothing else, the Ledger factor should draw in the curious... even if they'll leave scratching their heads.

At the premiere in Westwood this week, which we covered live via AMC NEWS on Twitter, some of the stars leaned one way, while others -- including director Brandon Camp -- felt differently. This is a film that comes from a personal place of loss for Camp, and a story that star Jennifer Aniston (but not co-star Aaron Eckhart) said was tough to wrap one's head around. Take a look at this week's Opening Night to find out why.

The Informant! is director Steven Soderbergh's new movie based on the true story of Mark Whitacre, the highest-ranking corporate whistle blower in U.S. history. Whitacre decided to turn against his employer, Archer Daniels Midland, but in so doing found himself, and not just his bosses, in hot water. The movie, from Warner Bros. and Participant Media, tells many stories: Corporate corruption, big agriculture's role in the lives of American consumers, and the very human story of Whitacre himself. As you may have seen if you follow AMC News on Twitter, I spoke with Matt Damon at The Informant! premiere over the weekend. Take a look at this clip airing all this week on AMC.

When Eve and Juliette Lewis stopped by our AMC News set at TIFF09 to talk about Whip It, we discussed what it was like learning to become a derby girl -- skating on a slanted track ready to take a spill... and adopting names like "Rosa Sparks" and "Dinah Might." Whip It, which stars Ellen Page as a derby novice, premiered at TIFF09 (see pictures from the premiere on the AMC News Twitter feed) and it's Drew Barrymore's feature directorial debut. According to her stars, she got good reviews from them and their fellow castmates. Take a look at our conversation.

Michael Douglas visited our set over the weekend in Toronto (as you may have seen when we posted about it in real-time on Twitter) and he told me that his new movie Solitary Man is "a black comedy about how people respond when all of a sudden they get a wake-up call as to how much time they might have." How does Douglas' character behave? "Atrociously," he responded.

The movie is directed by Brian Koppelman and David Levien and the script was written by Koppelman. These guys have collaborated before, as screenwriters of Ocean's Thirteen and The Girlfriend Experience for  Steven Soderbergh, who serves as producer on the movie. Susan Sarandon, Danny DeVito, Mary-Louise Parker, Jenna Fischer, and Jesse Eisenberg are also part of the cast. Watch the video below for more of our conversation.
